Hear from our former participants
I wholeheartedly recommend the StartUp Germany Programme. It was a great experience that provided a holistic business understanding, and allowed me to build invaluable networks and receive mentorship - connections and learnings I still actively use 9 years later.

My time as an MSU Q&R trainee is truly transformative. The appreciating culture and focus on professional & personal development are unmatched. I feel empowered to bring my whole self and my best ideas to the table! A top-tier experience!

The StartUp Science Trainee programme is a phenomenal post-PhD experience! I gain essential hands-on instrument skills, take full technical and process responsibility in projects, and develop crucial leadership skills through dedicated training. Best of all, I truly enjoy building a lasting network with active and alumni trainees across the company.
